Finalist No. 5 - @adrian.difazio:

My dad and I fish Flamingo at least twice a week - sometimes three. Every time I would go out, I would pray that a big snook would grab my lure. On this trip, the real temperature was 102 and the fish were not having it - we didn't get a bite the whole day! We were packing up to head back to the ramp after a long, tough day and I noticed the line on my reel was pretty funky - so I gave it one more cast to let out my line and... BOOM! A nice 32" snook on the last cast of the day!

I knew from then on I wanted to be a fishing guide as soon as I was old enough. I am focused on learning more and discovering new places, and in doing so, I've learned about the issues facing the Everglades and Florida Bay. I realized I need to get involved however I can because without clean water the Everglades needs, the place I have come to love won't survive.

So many of us rely on the everglades, all sorts of people love it, and want to see it stay alive and improve so that future generations can appreciate it as much as you and I do.

Finalist No. 4 - @organicgentleman:

I fish with my dad all the time. One day he went and caught a bonefish off the beach. He came home and said tomorrow we would go out and get me one. He had five shrimp left from the day before and we burned through them all.

At the end of the trip, I felt a sandflea on my foot and kicked it up on the beach. I hooked it on like I was taught, casted it out and let it soak. It got picked up and it was tight - and it ended up being the bonefish we were after!

My family and I watch @guiding_flow_tv and other shows on @waypointtv all the time. We protect the ocean and beach like it is our family - and always leave it clean.

Finalist No.3 - @billy2276 :

Not long after seeing an episode on @waypointtv featuring @ryannitz, I was following his social media pages when I saw a contested posted to sign up for @captainsforcleanwater for the chance to win a trip with him. Needless to say, I signed up to support CFCW to support their efforts to protect Florida's waters, not worrying about the chance of winning.

To my surprise, a couple of weeks later I received a message saying that I had won! I called work, told them I need a couple of days off, and booked a flight instantly. I was excited about the opportunity to catch a 40" fish and ended up landing a 42"er! A spur of the moment, two-day trip that was everything I could have imagined.

Although I am a NJ resident, I have been aware of the water flow issues that affect Florida. Admittedly, I did not take the time to ask the questions and do enough research to educate myself on the environmental/social impacts. Since joining @captainsforcleanwater, I have learned of the detrimental affects on the environment and on those who depend on the water to provide for their families.

Finalist No.2 - Liam via @cgiberson:

"It's so hard to decide when it comes to my favorite fish. I caught my first snook on the fly when I was three years old - and then four years later I caught my first giant snook.

It made me cry I was so happy. I was like 'oh my gosh'. When I was little I caught a baby one - and now I was holding one as big as me!

I love a strong fighting fish and I was just so happy to catch one"

Finalist No. 1 - @snbaird13:

This fish was my "birthday snook". My mother called me in July last year and asked me to take off work on a Tuesday to go fishin'! The weather was crystal clear, buddy and HOT. We had a couple of heartbreaking misses in the morning and by lunch we had packed up to head back to the ramp. We decided to hit one last shoreline on the way back and I picked up my setup with 20# leader.

I told my mom, "it would be crazy if I hooked a big one on this....". Five minutes later... SMACK! But she missed it. Thank god she was hungry, doubled back and hit it like a rocket two more times before hooking up. I was shaking like a leaf. My mom grabbed the net and couldn't open it. The fish is jumping. I'm laughing and praying at the same time.

I grabbed the net with one hand, while fighting the fish with the other, and fling it open - just enough to scoop it up like a bass pro on TV. Mom and I cheered like we won the Super Bowl, "woulda' been funny to watch that craziness from afar". The birthday snook measured 36" and was my personal best at the time!

Wild and diverse. @captainsforcleanwater

Restoration of America’s Everglades has a lasting impact on the viability and sustainability of the Sunshine State’s $1 trillion economy. Florida’s economy runs on clean water, and the health of our water infrastructure directly benefits the billions of dollars and thousands of jobs tied to outdoor recreation, tourism, real estate, and other sectors that define the state’s economic competitiveness and quality of life. @evergladesnps

An ocean connected. @bonefishtarpontrust

While satellite tracking studies have shown us that adult bonefish typically stick to the same areas for most of the year, localized populations can be connected across a large distance through annual adult migrations and by larvae transport in ocean currents after a spawn.

Understanding this connectivity will continue to unite angling communities around protection of migratory species and their habitats as we continue to learn that, while we may fish on different home waters, we are sharing the same finite resources.
